Check out the newly updated CIRSE Academy course on primary lung cancer!
➡️ https://t.ly/Yp4os

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a major cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore, developing and offering better strategies to combat this disease is crucial.

For early-stage NSCLC (stages I and II), surgery remains the gold standard treatment. However, approximately 20% of patients are ineligible for surgery due to existing comorbidities. Until recently, these “non-surgical” patients were treated with conventional radiotherapy, but newer approaches such as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and thermal ablation (TA) have shown promising results.

The three most widely used ablative modalities in the lung are radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), and cryoablation.

This course provides an overview of the various interventional oncology strategies available for treating NSCLC.
